Swampscott Christmas Tree Curbside Pickup Set For January

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — Swampscott residents looking to clear out their Christmas trees can do so the week of Jan. 15.

The town will be having a curbside collection of trees that week. Trees should be bare of any ornaments, stands, garlands, lights or tinsel and should be placed curbside by 7 a.m. on the day of trash collection.

Evergreen roping may be included if not attached to anything artificial.

Wreaths can be picked up with normal trash collection. No blue bag is needed.

No additional yard waste will be collected at this time.

This will be the town's only Christmas tree collection week.
